Remember I make Gold Spectacles a Specialty.
TO ALL WHOSE VISION IS DEFECTIVE. Now is the Time to Improve your Sight and Preserve your Eyes.
H. A. ROWE, OPTICIAN,
Would most respectfully announce to the citizens of Addison County and vicinity, that he has located at Middlebury, with a large stock of his
Perfected Spectacles and Eye-Glasses,
Consisting of the best Crystal of Quartz Lenses from the most celebrated manufacturers, which he can scien- tifically and accurately adjust to the eye from examination of its spherical figure, to see distant objects distinctly, and objects in closer proximity.
Perfect and Scientific Spectacles.
The advantages of these Spectacles over others, are these :
Ist-They are the only perfect Lens in existence, having the cones of each surface exactly opposite to each other, and being of uniform density, are rendered nearly free from chromatic substances and prismatic lights, points of the utmost importance in the construction of Spectacles.
2nd-They have a great superiority over glass, and are unequalled for clearness, and also for coolness to the eye. 3rd-They can be worn with perfect ease for any length of time at one sitting ; give astonishing clearness of vision, particularly by candle or artificial light, and arc a great comfort to the spectacle wearer.
4th-When the eyes pain or ache from the action of light, and in reading, writing, or sewing on vivid colored bodies, these lenses by softening the rays, effect the most agreeable sensation to the eye.
5th-In all nervous affections of the eye ; causing dull or startling pains in the eye-balls or temples, appearances of luminous or dark spots in the atmosphere, aching or feeling like sand in the eyes ; the disturbed nerves are quieted, soothed, composed and entirely restored.
WHEN SPECTACLES OUGHT FIRST TO BE USED, AND THOSE IN USE ABANDONED:
Ist-When we are obliged to move small objects to a considerable distance from the eye in order to see thein distinctly.
2nd-If we find it necessary to get more light than formerly, as for instance to place the light between the eye and the object.
3rd-If, on looking at and attentively considering a near object, it becomes confused, and appears to bave a kind of a mist before it.
4th-When the letters of a book run one into the other, and hence appear double or treble.
5th-If the eyes are so fatigued by a little exercise, that we are obliged to shut them from time to time, and re- lieve them by looking at different objects.
When all these circumstances occur, or any of them separately take place, it will be necessary to seek assist- ance from spectacles, which will now ease the eye, and in some degree check the tendency to grow flatter : whereas, if they be not assisted in time, the ratness will be considerably increased, and the eyes be weakened by the efforts they are compelled to exert. It is unsafe for the patient to select a pair of spectacles by trial, which he does by looking through one pair after another [perhaps some dozens] until his eyes become tired, irritated and confused. He now finds a pair exactly suitable for the eye in its disturbed condition, through which he can see perfectly. This pair he buys. Now this pair is not proper for his eyes, but suits them in their excited state, and continues ever afterwards, to weaken and injure the visual powers and nerves. Hence, the common complaint, "I could see well enough when I bought these, but now they continually tire and pain me, and I don't see as well in them as I did at first." These spectacles suited the eyes in an excited state, but nature is endeavoring to recover hier undisturbed condition, and the spectacles won't let her, In fact. there is more injury done to the eye by the use of improper spectacles than many people are aware of. Confidence ought not to be placed in the judgment of an optician, unless he has the ability to adjust spectacles to the eye that are suitable, without trial in the usual way, those who will give the greatest amount of vision that art can accomplish. Let it be remembered that magnifying power is not the most to be considered in the choice of spectacles, but their conformity to the sight : thus enabling any one to see distinctly, and with ease, at the distance they were accustomed to read or work be- fore the use of spectacles became necessary.
